I just tried running DC Updater for the first time, and it kept failing. Although there could be other reasons - like operator failure I suspect this is because it's behind a proxy. I tried setting the proxy in the configuration, but no joy. The proxy is of the form

Please can DCUpdater allow this kind of proxy setting? Or, perhaps better, crib an idea from Martin Aignesberger's WebSite-Watcher and other programs, to have an option where DCUpdater interrogates IE for what proxy it's using, and uses that?

i think libcurl (which i use for dcupdater) can use web proxies fine -- i just have to figure out how to configure them. if anyone has a reference on which proxies work in dcupdater currently and which don't, that would help.
